pfitchjr,

I think you have to explain what you /want/ to do, not only show the
commands you are typing. From your first post I thought you wanted to
copy from one disk image to another. In your last examples it seems
that you want to extract a disk image to a local folder tree.

Is "Rogue" a formatted disk image? If not, there is no wonder it
doesn't work. If it is a local directory you must *not* add the comma,
since it signifies a disk image.

It seems you also ignored my suggestion to omit the dot in the source path.

It is strange that removing the single quotes changes anything. From
the "copy" error messages it seems that the quotes are correctly
stripped away by your shell. However, the error message shows the
source file, but the problem could be in the destination. I have
changed it to show both, maybe that can give us some hints.

Yup, that's a bug, I have fixed it.

Good catch! That is a bug from 2004. Also fixed now.

Regards,
Tormod
